Depends where.
A city there will be some repercussions for US image and it will push more countries to try and slip away from the grasp of the US but also allow the US to terrorize a lot of countries successfully with threats by pointing to that. Anti-imperialist solidarity will rise but also probably the willingness of nations to capitulate to the US because they're unhinged and faced no consequences will also rise as they make the calculation they can't risk American nuking them.
If they nuke Fordow I expect other than some protests and the usual anti-nuclear movement (aging now) being angry very little will come of it. Russia and China will condemn, NATO and media and most Americans will shrug and either see it as bad because we shouldn't be bombing Iran (not because of being nuclear) or as good because we should or as neither because they couldn't care less and are late for brunch.
If they do nuke Fordow I think it would be interesting to see if Russia uses the opening from that to use a tactical nuke on a hardened Ukrainian military installation in a similar way and as a kind of response.
